Los Angeles City Council is celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the globally famed Hollywood Sign.
Setting behind mountains and a thick layer of haze, the sun casts a warm glow on the Hollywood sign overlooking Los Angeles late Wednesday, June 30, 1999. For a century and a half California has been a destination for every conceivable sort of adventurer. The Los Angeles City Council celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the iconic Hollywood Sign, and commemorated the milestone by declaring Oct. 31 as “Hollywood Sign Day” in the city.
Alexandra Gedda, 17, of Virginia Beach, takes a picture of her mother Stella with the iconic Hollywood sign on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 in Los Angeles. The famous sign will be a 100 next year. Environmental activists cover the Hollywood sign with letters Thursday, February 11, 2010 in Hollywood,CA. When completed the sign will read “SAVE THE PEAK”. The activists are promoting a campaign to raise $5.5 million to help buy the land around the landmark to prevent it from becoming the site of a residential development. The Hollywood sign was built in 1923 to promote the Hollywoodland Housing Development and now an international symbol of Los Angeles.
Dylan Morgan, from Oceanside, Calif., a painter for Bay Cal Commercial Painting, removes stickers from the Hollywood sign as he prepares the landmark for a fresh coat of paint Friday, Nov. 11, 2005, in Los Angeles. Like almost every other star in town, the Hollywood sign is getting a makeover.
The Hollywood sign stands in front of snow-covered mountains after another winter storm hit Southern California on March 01, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. The famous sign that normally spells “Hollywood” has been draped with new lettering to say “Save The Peak,” a reference to nearby Cahuenga Peak, that has been the object of developer interest, seen in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010. The new temporary signage seeks donations so the city can purchase land adjacent to the Hollywood Sign, keeping the famous view clear of real estate development.
Jeff Zarrinnam, chairman of the Hollywood Sign Trust’s Board of Trustees, said as a child he made promise to himself that one day he would be “taking care of that Hollywood .” He also thanked his colleagues for their dedication to preserving the Hollywood Sign, as well as the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Hollywood United Neighborhood Council, and others involved in the care of the beloved sign.
